Tearing into it again today. Hope to have the head off tomorrow and at the machine shop.

Where's the progress at @jferg92 or @charliedyal ????

Ibd is always got something he's working on and I've got a head problem and you two just seemed to drift off into la la land.

 

LOL. I haven't been on here much as of late. After getting the gears done I'm at a standstill until after my wedding in September. @jferg92 & I are about in the same boat. We both want to get this done, just too many speed bumps in the near future. Hope you get it figured out soon.

 

Pshhh. Just buy another truck to drive in the meantime and do it in between everything else like I'm doing lol

 

Well I'm at a crossroad. I found rust. I need to decide if I'm gonna fix the rockers or if its time to move on.

 

Where is the rust at? Just rockers or is it elsewhere too?

 

My main concern is a the driverside rocker. There is a bit on the bottom of the doors where the skin is pinched over the frame, but thats a easy fix. Its the rockers that concern me.

 

Ahh. My driver door is the same way. And the hole where the parking brake cable comes through the rocker with the little boot seal on my truck has a little rust around that hole, all of its just kinda flaky surface rust though. No holes or metal that's brittle. The stupid seal boot doesn't fit in the hole right so it has a gap that could let water and anything else up in the hole getting into the rocker gulley or whatever you'd like to call the space in the inside of the rocker

 

So what's this thread all about?

I was fixing to read it and saw there was 783 pages and decided, ummm never mind.

Am I allowed in the secrete club?

 

Yeah lol. It's for anything with engine building. Like if you had questions about stuff then it would work here or if you were doing an engine build that would work here, etc

 

Well I got some .020 over Manley Pistons the other day.
